Will Steve Smith be the first receiver in NFL history.....

to break that 2,000 receiving mark? I thought considering his age and our wasted years at the QB position, he would never live up to that potential. Yet yesterday, even at his age, he can still get behind defenders and go up and ****** balls out of the air. Now that we have a QB who can throw the ball, will Smitty break the 2,000 mark?:D

By the way, Cam and Smitty are leading the league in passing and receiving right now!

I've said it numerous times, but if Smith wants a shot at the HOF at this point he's going to have to do something remarkable. Either win the triple crown again or deliver 2000 yds in a season. If he does that then I think it makes him a lock.

We all know how good Smith is but the HOF looks at stats and the Panthers are not exactly media favorites. The years of garbage QB's and no WR help have hurt his chances. So it will take something like this make people see.

Of course I believe he can do it, but I'm also a Smitty fan.

No. Cams gonna look like a rookie in some games. And the cardinals secondary blows. Wait till we play a defense that has a good secondary. Yesterday was no fluke, but you can't expect anything close to that every week

Why not?! 6k+ yards, 48 TDs is extremely plausible for a rookie!

If Smith can Stay healthy and play more years then he can probably be a HOF. Jerry Rice played a lot of seasons. That is one reason why no one can touch his records. Rice was great don't get me wrong but one reason why his stats are so great is because he played so many games. His career lasted so long because he trained well (actually his training was so tough many WRs couldn't train with him) and stayed healthy for his career. TO has lasted a while as well and probably will come back after he heals from his surgery. If Smith decides to play and stay in shape then I feel he could possibly be a HOF with Cam as his QB. I am going to hate the day Smith goes but it looks like its going to happen within the next five years, but he is so strong that maybe he could last a bit longer if he can keep his speed.

We saw what blitzing against Cam will do to a team. I think teams will take notice and start backing off. Yet if they do that, our running game should take off. So it becomes a pick your poison thing. Most teams will probably choose to blitz because Cam's a rookie, and that will allow the Smitty connection to take place. I think this is going to be a special season for him.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
